Simkar fluorescent products meet the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" and the "Buy American" requirements placed on certain jobs. All steel and aluminum parts are made in America and all fixtures are assembled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agencys Energy Star Program, lighting consumes 25 to 40 percent of the energy used in commercial buildings. This has increased the demand for more energy-efficient lighting selections. Lighting within buildings accounts for 23 percent of national electrical consumption.

There are many reasons why a surface mount T8 fluorescent light fixture is desired - ranging from replacement of an existing fixture or decorative element to installation because of limited access to the plenum. This Simkar CH fluorescent strip fixture (also called out as a channel fixture) can be mounted in continuous rows or individually. Whatever you need for your surface mount requirement - Simkar is the solution.

Proudly Made in the USA, the versatile Simkar CH117-B11-UNV (59-25102) is a single (1) light, 17 watt T8 fluorescent strip light fixture. All Simkar CH series 24" fluorescent strip lights are constructed from die-formed heavy gauge steel, with a high gloss, baked white enamel finish over a rust inhibiting phosphate coat and have a removable wireway access panel. Ample knockouts are provided on the side, back and ends. All Simkar CH series fluorescent strip lights come standard with their patented, labor-saving, pre-wired flip-up socket bars. Shipped fully wired and assembled, simply flip up the socket bar and attach the wireway cover with the turn fastener(s) provided. The physical dimensions of the fixture are 3 13/16" tall (with the lamps installed) by 2 3/4" wide by 23 15/16" long. This T8 fluorescent strip light fixture comes with a fully wired 120-277 volt electronic ballast. This fixture requires (1) F17T8 linear fluorescent lamp, or, upgrade your bulb to a 24" T8 ballast compatible LED tube light. Lamps are not included and must be ordered separately.
